Recycling / Food Recycling
Food waste recycling for kitchens and canteens.
Food waste sent to anaerobic digestion becomes energy and fertiliser instead of landfill methane. We collect it separately, hygienically, on a schedule that suits your kitchen.
Commercial & trade only — not a domestic service.
Food is heavy, wet and the worst thing to send to landfill, where it rots and releases methane. Collected separately, it goes to anaerobic digestion and becomes biogas and soil improver instead. Under the 2025 workplace recycling rules most businesses now have to separate it anyway. We set your kitchen up with the right caddies and bins, collect on a frequency that keeps things hygienic, and handle the paperwork. Restaurants, canteens, care homes, schools, anywhere that prepares or serves food.
Who it is for: Restaurants, canteens, care homes, schools and food manufacturers.

FAQ
Food Recycling, common questions.
Is separate food collection a legal requirement?
For most businesses in England, yes, since the 2025 Simpler Recycling rules. Food must be separated from general waste. We set you up compliant.
Won't food waste smell?
Not if it is contained and collected often enough. We use sealed caddies and bins and set a frequency matched to your volume, stepping it up in summer if needed.
What can go in?
All food prep and plate waste, raw or cooked, including bones, peelings and out-of-date stock. We give you a simple what-goes-in guide for the team.
Is this a commercial service or for households?
Commercial only. FJL is a business waste and recycling provider, not a domestic service. We collect from offices, shops, restaurants, pubs, hotels, warehouses, industrial units and trade sites. If you run a business and produce this waste, we can take it.
How does pricing work?
A clear monthly price based on the containers and collection frequency you need, with no long lock-ins. Fuel surcharges and any price changes are flagged in writing before they apply, and most businesses that switch to us pay less than they did before.
Do you provide the bins and containers?
Yes. We supply the right containers for the stream and your space as part of the service, from caddies and clear sacks to 240 to 1100 litre wheelie bins and larger containers for higher volumes.
How quickly can we start?
Usually within the same week. Call before 11am and we can often arrange a same-week start, and we will handle the changeover if you are leaving another provider.
